    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Re: HOW MANY QUARTS OF OIL ?

2.47 quarts is what you need. Do not put more than that in. This is one of those times when too much can be worse than not enough.

I think your engine should have a number stamped/cast into the crankcase near the oil filler plug. That's the number of mL it expects. Don't use it exactly, but it is a ballpark figure. Actually, you will probably need less than that number because you aren't going to totally drain the system.

Anyway, don't overfill it. overfilling causes frothing, in which case you're pumping air through the system, not oil, and parts will overheat. Very bad. Could be fatal.

my 79 takes 2.5 quarts with just an oil change. its about 2.8 with a filter change.

I would use 2400ml myself..a lot easier than this quarts conversion thing!!
 
we have no choice in the States, we have quarts and gallons here, thats how they sell fluids here, so hmm.. i wish i lived in australia, some day i hope i get to move to there or somewhere as exotic :D

im debating on how much to put into my 450L, it looks like three quarts came out, probably about 2.5 quarts too
